“Wonderful tour with my lovely guide Michael and our driver Levon. This is my first time in Armenia and Michael introduced me to Armenian history, gave suggestions about other places to visit and even suggested local foods to try. Both places we visited - Garni temple and Geghard monastery are like out of this world, beautiful, and very important historical places for Armenia. Unfortunately we couldn't see mount Ararat from it's viewing point, but in Geghard monastery we were surprised by a local chorus performing a religious singing in one of the carved halls, such a magical experience. Big thanks to driver Levon for driving safely on mountain roads and…”

A short, private highlights walk in Yerevan with hotel pickup, free sights, and an option for commentary by English or Russian guides.
“I thought this tour was okay. We were picked up in our hotel in a car and drove for about an hour to multiple Yerevan sights. It was a little hard to focus on the touring given the heavy traffic and small car — there was a lot of jerky stops. For the remaining hour, we walked around downtown. I think it would be helpful for the tour to have a more cohesive narrative, and maybe start with an introduction to Armenian history or culture. Instead, the touring felt disjointed with a lot of pointing out statues and providing names and dates without a ton of context to understand how…”

He did not speak perfect English, but similarly to the hotel hosts tried everything to understand each other, and was friendly to respond with a few words about I asked and with the help of my translator app. He also, already learnt about the site and statues some English sentences, that also was inspiring, as well taught me Armenian words. He is really professional as a driver too, fast, punctual but not dangerous style driver. He did not join me for the walk, but gave a lot of time…”

“Had a great day on the "without guide" option - you are given a private tour and can visit the attractions in your own time. Unlike other tours in the region, the locations are quite near Yerevan and whilst they are all stunning it also means you complete the tour in late afternoon and have the night to yourself with limited travelling. Recommended!”
